The following table describes the labels for the iRing screen.
Label Description
Enable Ring
Mark to enable Ring.
Enable Ring Master
There should be only one Ring Master in a ring. However, if two or
more switches have Ring Master enabled, the switch with the
lowest MAC address will become the Ring Master and the others
will become the Backup Masters.
1
st
Ring Port
The primary port when configured as the Ring Master.
2
nd
Ring Port
The backup port when configured as the Ring Master.
Enable Coupling Ring
Enables Coupling Ring. Coupling Ring can be used to divide a
big ring into two smaller rings avoiding any change to the other
switches if there is network topology change. It is a good
application for connecting two rings.
Coupling Port
Set a port as the Coupling Ring port to link to the Coupling Ring
port of the switch in the other ring. Coupling Ring requires four
switches to construct an active and a backup link. The linked four
ports of the four switches will be operated in active/backup
mode.
Control Port
Set a port as Control Port to link to the Control Port of the switch in
the same ring. Control Port used to transmit control signals.
Enable Dual Homing
Enables Dual Homing. By selecting Dual Homing mode, the ring will
be connected to switches through two RSTP links (i.e., backbone
Switch). The two links will act in active/backup mode, and connect
each ring to the switches in RSTP mode.
Apply
Click “Apply” to set the configurations.
Help
Show help file.
Note: It is not recommended to set one switch as a Ring Master and a Coupling Ring at the same time as this will over load
the system.
4.1.6.2 iBridge
The iBridge technology can be enabled allowing the addition of iS5Com switches into a
network constructed by another vendor’s proprietary ring. This allows the
interoperability between managed switches.
